Water Problem: Sulphur

Dissolved gases can cause cloudiness and bad odors in water. It can also cause pipes to hammer and spitting of gas and water when a faucet is opened. Methane gas is odorless and occurs naturally in some underground water wells. Hydrogen sulfide gas smells like rotten eggs and is occasionallly present in underground aquifers. Dissolved gases in water can be aggressive to piping systems and cause wear on valves, seats and washers.
